Dina Rasor, Truthout: 'Now that the supercommittee is coming down to its last few weeks, there is a scramble of lobbyists and members of Congress to stop any cuts to the Department of Defense (DoD) budget, either the already promised cuts or the larger cuts that will be triggered if the supercommittee does not reach a deal.'

Campaign Grows to Divest From 'Too Big to Fail' Banks to Local Banks, Credit Unions

Video

Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: 'As participants in the Occupy Wall Street movement continue protesting the record profits made by banks bailed out by taxpayer money, a group of grassroots activists are hitting America s largest banks - including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo - where it hurts most: the wallet. Dubbing this Saturday, Nov. 5 as 'Bank Transfer Day,' activists are urging people to move their money out of the banks deemed 'too big to fail' into local community banks and credit unions. Bank Transfer Day draws on an idea popularized by filmmaker Eugene Jarecki, economist Rob Johnson and columnist Arianna Huffington, among others. In 2010, they created the short film called 'Move Your Money,' which became a viral sensation. We speak with filmmaker Eugene Jarecki.'
